The Dallas Mavericks struggled to start their Saturday night game against the Miami Heat. They finished the first quarter with an eye-popping deficit, but they helped finish the quarter with a fantastic buzzer-beater from Kristaps Porzingis.
Dime shared the video of the play, and it was definitely something that's worth watching time and time again.

It was a terrific pass from Maxi Kleber to realize that he was not open to do anything with the ball. However, it's more impressive for KP to complete the shot from such a distance. Sure, he used the backboard to make the shot. However, even the best shooters would find a shot from the logo with only seconds remaining to be quite stressful.
Thanks to this shot, the eye-popping 37-20 deficit at the end of the first was cut down by three points. The Mavericks eventually managed to crawl back into the game and make it competitive.
